Blimpies & Big 'Wiches

A Look Behind in Rewind

Season 2, Episode 51: Did you know that New Jersey can rightfully claim to be the "submarine" state? Sub sandwiches (or hoagies, Blimpies, etc.) were introduced to hungry NJ consumers around the turn of the century by Italian immigrants, based on a traditional Old World recipe. Learn more in our latest podcast episode, in which we take a deep dive into the origins of this tasty treat. In this podcast series, Tom Nielson tells stories, shares memories, and concocts whimsical, light-hearted tales inspired by his own life experiences, channeling the styles of Jean Shepherd, Garrison Keillor, Mark Twain, Jerry Seinfeld, and other renowned storytellers.
